Peerless Taoist

At this moment, a sharp eunuch's cry suddenly came from outside the hall.    

With this, the entire Purple Mansion Hall instantly became quiet. Although those Masters had their own ulterior motives, they all wanted to know more information through their conversations. At this moment, they all stopped talking and closed their mouths, looking outside the hall.    

"Squeak ~ ~"    

The door of the Purple Mansion Hall was pushed open, and his eyes suddenly lit up. He saw an even brighter golden dragon flying in from outside the door, flying over everyone's heads, and finally landing steadily on the dragon throne in the center.    

The golden light gradually dissipated, and finally revealed Lu Yu's figure.    

At this moment, Lu Yu was not wearing a dragon robe, but only an ordinary brocade robe. However, no one dared to look down on him, and everyone's face revealed a hint of seriousness.    

A few gazes instantly fell on Lu Yu, but the Spiritual Sense immediately began to tremble violently, and they immediately moved their eyes away.    

They felt as if they were mortals, wanting to see the complete appearance of the statue.    

Even if they released their Spiritual Sense, with the power of their souls, they were unable to do so.    

The pressure on Lu Yu's body was too strong, as if a peerless god of creation had suddenly descended in front of everyone. Every word and action of his was filled with supreme majesty, making people have to submit to him.    

With just a single appearance, Lu Yu had shocked many people.    

When Lu Yu sat firmly on the dragon throne and looked at everyone, those sect masters immediately lowered their heads. Not a single one of them dared to look directly at Lu Yu.    

In the inner space of the Purple Mansion, many floating stars were emitting rays of bright starlight. They gathered from all directions and finally merged into the back of Lu Yu's head, forming a resplendent halo.    

The bright light was released from the halo and illuminated the surroundings, giving people a stronger sense of oppression.    

"How... How much has he cultivated? Why does he have such a strong sense of oppression?"    

Many people were roaring in their hearts, and their faces revealed expressions of disbelief.    

Especially those old monsters who had cultivated in the Eternal Immortal Realm for many years. They wanted to rely on their experience and qualifications to show Lu Yu a little. Now that they saw Lu Yu's aura, they all broke out in a cold sweat and did not dare to move.    

They seemed to be on a different level.    

Although they were all Eternals, Lu Yu was like a god above the nine heavens, and they were like mortals. Even if they took a glance at him, their hearts would tremble.    

On the other side of the Purple Mansion, the people of the Spiritual Treasure Sect and the Heavenly King Sect were still fine. They had already interacted with Lu Yu before.    

However, for those who had first met Lu Yu, this was a very strong shock.    

It was better to see than to hear.    

Those who could become the sect master all had pride in their hearts. Naturally, they would not submit to a junior like Lu Yu. However, now, none of them dared to speak loudly.    

No one asked for an audience, but Lu Yu did not care about the formalities.    

"The reason why I gathered all of you here today is to discuss the construction of the formation."    

Lu Yu's gaze swept across everyone and he said indifferently, "The reason why Taiqing Heaven is so stable now is largely due to the Great Qin Army's efforts on the frontlines. Now that the demons are almost suppressed, there is still a threat from the demons in the outside world."    

"In order to maintain Taiqing Heaven's stability and the interests of all of you, I want to discuss this with you. You will work together to speed up the construction of these formations."    

"So, how much money and resources do you need from each sect? The Bureau of Internal Affairs and the Outer Temple will make the standard according to your strength. If you agree, leave your names on this list."    

Lu Yu did not waste any time and took out a scroll and slowly unfolded it in the air.    

The scroll was densely packed with words, marking the amount of resources that each sect needed to pay.    

The power of the souls of the sect masters was also incomparably huge. Although the words on the scroll were densely packed, they could still see the amount of money they were going to offer with a single glance.    

It was obvious that the Great Qin's treasury was in a state of being unable to meet its expenses, and the consumption of the formation could be seen from this.    

When the sect masters saw the words written on the scroll, their expressions changed slightly.    

Although they could afford the resources listed on the scroll, it was still a considerable expense for these sects.    

Furthermore, from Lu Yu's attitude, it seemed that he had no intention of discussing with them at all. He had directly agreed to let them offer up their money.    

"Your Majesty, since you want us to hand over our money, you should at least give us some benefits. Could it be that you want us to contribute our money just for our safety? How can there be such a principle in this world?"    

No one said anything, but the Floating Island Master, Xie Jiangliu, who had been shouting the loudest before, suddenly spoke.    

The moment he spoke, the others immediately fell into silence. Everyone was like a smart person, wanting to see what would happen next.    

"Alright, I didn't expect Xie Jiangliu to be so shrewd in the past, but now he has stood up."    

"With him leading the way, we can also see what Lu Yu's reaction is."    

The Masters communicated with each other using their Spiritual Sense. At the same time, they swept their gazes across Xie Jiangliu and Lu Yu's faces, wanting to see the changes in their expressions.    

However, to everyone's surprise, Lu Yu's face was still calm.    

He looked at everyone and suddenly smiled, "I naturally won't let you guys pay for nothing. Many of you have reached the tenth level of the Eternal King Realm, right?"    

After saying that, Lu Yu flicked his finger, and a mirror suddenly appeared in front of everyone.    

Behind the mirror, there was a vast territory. There were many books hidden within it, and it was as vast as the sea. It was actually a world formed from countless Cultivation Methods.    

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then many of the Masters' eyes lit up. They muttered, "Is this the Royal Treasury?"    

"It's the Royal Treasury!"    

Lu Yu looked at the Masters present and said, "Your contributions are not the same. You can use your contributions to exchange for Cultivation Methods, cultivation methods, and other things in the Royal Treasury of the Great Qin Empire."    

"This is a priceless treasure, and it is also what you need the most."    

For a moment, the breathing of many of the Masters present became heavy.    

Compared to the money and other things that they had contributed, it was obvious that these things were the most important to them.
